Turnkey dessert-franchise opportunity in York County, South Carolina. The business currently operates day to day through its trained team and part-time shift leadership, with limited owner presence. The clearest opportunity is for an active local owner who can build community relationships and local visibility that are difficult for the current owners to pursue consistently from outside the immediate market.

The franchisor has waived the transfer fee, initial franchise fee, and right of first refusal, reducing significant cost and friction associated with a franchise transfer. A buyer must complete the franchisor’s background-check and approval process, execute the then-current franchise agreement, and complete any required buyer-paid training.

The business includes a full buildout completed in 2025, walk-in freezer, production and service equipment, furnishings, POS systems, and inventory at normal operating levels. Nine part-time employees support the operation, including one team leader and two shift leaders. Several experienced college employees return during summer and spring breaks, providing seasonal coverage during peak periods.

Growth opportunities include school and youth partnerships, catering, private events, community outreach, local business relationships, and more consistent grassroots marketing. The existing team, systems, and recent buildout give an active owner a strong operating base from day one.

The leased location contains approximately 1,994 square feet. Current all-in monthly rent is $7,893.12, including base rent and additional rent for CAM, taxes, and insurance. The lease has approximately 8.5 years remaining, plus two additional five-year renewal options.

Financial information is supported by QuickBooks and the filed federal tax return. Detailed financial reconciliation and supporting documents are available to qualified buyers after a signed confidentiality agreement and proof of funds.

The owners are selling to focus on another location and their growing family. This is a debt-free, cash-free asset sale. Seller financing is not offered, although buyers may pursue third-party financing.
